Identification of TFEB regulated genes during in vitro RGC to EPC differentiation (RNA-seq)

The largest germinal niche of the adult mammal brain locates at the ventricular zone (VZ), which is made up of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) and multiciliated ependymal cells (EPCs). Both NSCs and EPCs derive from radial glia (RG), whereas the transcriptomic dynamic changes of the cell fate continuum remain elusive. Here, we identified a key transcription factor TFEB that is important during EPC differentiation. We knockdown TFEB using siRNA and check gene expression changes upon TFEB depletion by RNA-seq.
